Portfolio Over 7000 .uk reduced in price

[keys]

I guess they could always put the cost price up 15p of everything else to compensate

15p is not a lot, but multiply by 10m and you get an extra £1,500,000 per year. Expect more of the same!

Interesting article, i wonder if Nominet take action or just brush it under the carpet.

Now what to do with the 1720 matching .co.uk ...

Now what to do with the 1720 matching .co.uk ..

If I were you, I'd do the same as what you just did. Seemed to go down well.

Run an ROR period for the people that bought the .uk ?

I think we are getting confused here between the SOLD names and AVAILABLE names...

I was referring to the 1720 that are now AVAILABLE in .uk

The names now in white on the drop list:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PhnFFA23w2mLuV1gi_DDaSfS487bjEcFg6GJZgtdajI/edit?usp=sharing

No one is going to want the matching 1720 .co.uk

 

[lazarus]

Ah, I see.

@Whois-Search - You could always drop the .co.uk counterpart for the LLL's to free up your dashboard space thus giving those who caught the most priority

Just keep paying the renewals, and support Nominet. All portfolio owners have a percentage of fools gold, a fact that I am becoming acutely aware of.
